What is the chemical formula for a compound with 4 chlorine atoms and 1 carbon?

Answer 1

it is CH4 it is also called methane

• Enter a sequence of element symbols followed by numbers to specify the amounts of desired elements (e.g., CH4).
• Use correct case for element symbols. If correct case is not used, the formula may be ambiguous and the interpretation chosen may not be the desired one.
• Elements may be in any order.
• If only one of a given atom is desired, you may omit the number after the element symbol.
• Parentheses may be used to group atoms.
• Multiple specifications for an atom will be added. This means that CH3(CH2)4CH3 will be treated the same as C6H14.
• To specify one or more of a given atom, use a question mark (?) after the element symbol.
• To specify any number (including zero) of given element, use an asterisk (*) after the element symbol.
• To explicitly specify an ion, place the charge at the end of the formula. If the charge is greater than one the charge should be included after the + or - symbol (e.g., C60-2).

Answer 2

The chemical formula for a compound with 4 chlorine atoms and 1 carbon is CCl4, which is carbon tetrachloride.

Answer 3

Methane - CH4

Answer 4

CH4 - Methane

Answer 5
